Hsarn ct al. VS.. John I, Brogsn,
from Clay county Circuit Court,
wherein license to retail liquor grant.
ed by the Board of Mayor and Alder
men of West Point to Bfogsn was
contested; affirmed in this case. The
Court says one licensed to retail may
sell. The only license the municipal
suthoiities could grant was to retail,
and that confers the right to sell.
There is no re lson why applying in
terms for license to sell generally
should be had. There Is no express
repeal of former laws by the late act
and as repeals by implication are
never favored, the new law must be
held to displace or suspend the form
er only to the extent Of inconsistency
between them.
